Each House Boy undergoes a personal fitness evaluation and is assigned exercise and fitness activities consistent with his needs, physical abilities, age, and goals. Some boys are assigned weightlifting as one of these duties and other boys are not, but each boy has access to weights at either home or at Master’s friends or as part of a health club membership.

No House Boy is permitted to engage in the bench press or similar hazardous weightlifting without a spotter, regardless of circumstance. When a spotter isn’t assigned by Master or readily available, the boy is permitted to ask a responsible person to spot for him. The boy shall return the favor if the spotter also wishes to lift.

Nothing in this rule excuses the boy from required nudity at home or in circumstances where nudity is not prohibited, and nothing in this rule requires nudity where it is not legal or traditional. Both the boy and the spotter should keep horseplay to a minimum.
